 BATHURST. N. B., Dec. 19.-A terrible ac- cident occurred Saturday afternoon near Caraquette station, on the northern division of the lntercolonial railroad. While the train was near McKintosh's Cove brigde, six miles west of Caraquette, the train men noticed heavy drifts of snow on the west side of the bridge. The train consisted of one passenger car, an engine and a snow blow. Eight section men were aboard for the pur- pose of assisting in fearing the road of the snow which fell in Fridays storm
 The passenger car was left on the east side of the fridge. The section men, the con- ductor, Brakeman London, a young man named Frank Miller. Driver Lanigan and Fire man Boucher-thirteen persons in all- were on the engine. They then started, but when they got on the bridge the blow and engine left the track and fell over into the river.
 Only five men could be found. The rest, eight in number, were pinned down under the engine, which was lying bottom up in the river. The train was running slowly at the time, as they had plenty of time when they got over the brige to get run at the drift

 LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Dec 19.-A special from Cove, Polk county, reports that de- strnctive cyclone visited Armstrong acad- emy, I. T., Fort Washita and Green, at an early hour on Saturday morning, causing great destruction of property and loss of life.
 The following are the casualties as far as known: French Adams, United States army, Washita, killed; A. B. z. Lincoln, Washita, killed; Henderson Jack, Greer killed Peter Reson, Green, killed; two children, names unknown, killed; William Covington, Arm strong academy, both legs broken; Henry Wait, Washita, arm and leg broken; Mrs. Wait, Washita, arm broken.
 A terrific rurbling sound was heard about 5 o'clock. It startled the few settlers from their sleep only to awake them to the horror of impending death.
 A heavy black cloud. funnel shaped, was seen in tue distance and rapidly approach ing When about a mile north of Fort Washita it struck the ground, and from this point south for miles the work of ruin was continued.
 Tie cyclone travelled at about the rate of a mile a minute. In an instant from the time it struck the earth half the houses i'll Fort Washita were in ruins Light out houses and dwellings were picked up and made into kindling wood by the fury of the wind.
 At Green, little hamlet six miles south of Armstrong, the damage was very heavy and many persons were injured. Seventeen houses and general store were carried away bodily, while ho1 ses and cattle within the territory covered by the storm king were killed or maimed.
 The damage at this time cannot, of course, be estimated, as the full extent of the storm is not known.
 The two children killed at Green were car rieu about sixty yards by the wind and dashed to the ground, mangled so as to be almost unrecognizable.
 Many catGle and other stock were also killed by lightning The storm only lasted about six minutes at any one point.
